And They Played Shang-A-Lang
This is what life was like growing up in 70's Scotland. Told through laughter, tears and 70's hit music numbers, we follow Jim's life as he negotiates the stormy waters of adolescence. From school playground to school disco we witness his life through his memories as it unfolds around him. His first encounters with love, death and stumbling dealings with the opposite sex.
Lang Lang - The Chopin Dance Project
The evening was one of rare collaboration between music, movement and even audience. There were times when the dazzling virtuosity of Lang Lang, which is as prodigious as touted, took your breath away with the nuanced shading of the sheer technical facility, which seems quite out of this world. He and the dancers held us spellbound and breathless. - Houston Press
